I haven't posted here in ages but about a year ago or so one of my older 12inch re se subwoofers stopped working, cone stuck in a pushed out position.
Since then it has only sat in my room, it feels like a wasted tossing it in the trash but then again there seems to be nothing else to do with it.
I figured I would post here and see what sort of response I could get, with the price of new re se subwoofers any kind of repair seems out of the question.

Is it worth having the sub reconed even though it is an older model? That is sort of the main question I guess I am having.
If anyone has any other creative suggestions like the candy dish I will take them also
Thanks everyone.
It's definately worth it. You're looking at around $100 for a recone and that's way better than just buying a new sub. If you can get a recone and do it yourself it will be cheaper.

Ikesound has been good to me, though I only purchased from them once, but the equipment is still working....

Rob you wouldnt be happy with it trust me i dropped one in my enclosure til i get everything worked out and get more power. the sub would start to smell with 600rms and the suspention is SOFT. it did good on low freq but this sub needs some REAL parts.

when i was doing roofing, i made a nail bar out of 4 motors bolted to a small piece of 2x4, then put some wheels and a handle on it. worked better than a store bought sweeper
